The 3,768 teu, Majd is set to join the Qatar company in the coming weeks as its containership fleet swells to 17 vessels.
Milaha’s president and ceo Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai said, “The new vessel is part of our strategy to optimise our container shipping network with larger tonnage to meet increasing customer demand for capacity and cost efficiency in a highly competitive market. Majd will be phased into our existing network and will gradually replace smaller tonnage.”
Milaha has undertaken a major expansion of its container shipping services after Qatar came under sanctions from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt last year.
